Copper Welding with High-Brightness Fiber Lasers
| The consumer electronics and automotive industry are the driving forces for an increased use of copper in industrial processes and products. With the development of new battery technologies and higher battery capacities, the demands to the joining technologies are increasing. While soldering is still the state of the art for low power applications in consumer electronics, it is necessary to apply welding technology whenever high currents have to be transmitted, or high and dynamic loads stress the joints. The e-mobility sector is especially driving this trend and the automotive industry and its suppliers are looking for robust and efficient processes for high volume production in electrical power storage and transmission line applications. |

Wobbler: An Elegant Solution to Common Welding Problems
The recent introduction of an easily integrated technology, based on a beam wobbling technique, is helping overcome difficulties in welding reflective materials such as copper and aluminum as well as dissimilar materials. This cost effective technique is helping to resolve porosity and hot cracking issues with laser welding, while making part-fit up to 3x more forgiving in terms of seam gap and seam offset. By enabling independent control of penetration depth, spot velocity, weld speed and seam width, welding applications
can be further improved to help achieve better welds both structurally and visually which eliminates the need for post processing.
